Team Siem steers BMW to Rolex Pro-Am victory ahead of the DP World Tour Championship

The BMW 4 team of Nick Evangelopoulus, Harris Michaelides and Randeep Singh joined forces with German pro Marcel Siem to win the Rolex Pro-Am yesterday (Tuesday) on the Earth course at Jumeirah Golf Estates. The traditional curtain raiser for the DP World Tour Championship, the 44-team Rolex Pro-Am saw Siem and his amateur partners post a score of eighteen under par to win by two shots from the European Tour 1 team of Thomas Aiken.

South Africa’s Aiken, partnered by Adel Zarouni, Maurizio Noce and Walid Al Attar, took the runners-up spot courtesy of a count back after both the European Tour 1 team and Jumeirah Golf Estates 1 carded rounds of sixteen under par.

Led by former Open Champion Paul Lawrie of Scotland, the JGE 1 team of James Ashbridge, Shankar Najrekar and Maurits Klavert had to settle for third also on -16.

In his first appearance in the event as a professional playing off the Championship Tees, the UAE’s Ahmed Al Musharrekh performed well finishing on -11 in 18th place with Emirates Golf Federation team mates Khalid Mubarak Al Shamsi, Hamad Al Medfa and Dr Aziz.
